Several have told us that NCRC is a total dumpster fire - worth applying to?

| Several have told us to stay away. Can others advise? We have heard so much frustration with the administration of that school - that they dropped a whole class because of low enrollment/mass exodus after the scandal. That Teachers are unprepared - 2nd year teachers got demoted to doing half day teaching because they couldn't prepare 2nd year kids to meet their goals. Interim head has no idea what she is doing. Outgoing school placement is not what it was before. Board also very divided. Little Folks applications are up 4x. What is going on there? |

| New head will be awesome but it’s going to take some time to right this ship. Deep breaths. |

| I can’t speak to NCRC but Little Folks is an amazing place. There has been almost no teacher turnover and the head of school is a treasure. Outplacement numbers are unbeatable too. We know so many families that have been so happy there. |

| It’s hard to imagine anyone who has actually stepped inside describing NCRC as a dumpster fire. It’s been a wonderful school year and the most joyful experience. Take a tour and decide for yourself rather than starting rumors on an anonymous message board. This feels like a troll. |

| No teacher has left at NCRC. Zero teacher turnover… OP I have no idea where you get your info… my kids graduated from NCRC. Their classes went to all the top tiered schools in NW |

| Not our experience at all. NCRC is a joyful place. The faculty and staff are top notch. My kids have loved it, as have we. |

| We couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience for our two kids. The teachers and staff at the school are all amazing, dedicated, and devoted professionals. The NCRC community has always been strong and is thriving. Our kids are alumni and are excelling at their current schools. Don't believe the mean-spirited gossip-mongers and trolls. |

| My ds could have stayed one more year but we decided to send him to the same school as older sibling. I regret it. NCRC is really the most amazing early childhood program. |

Making up that it’s involved in scandal? That’s definitely not made up. |
